Hank's Neapolitan Cheesecakes Recalled for Missing Allergen Labels

Hank's Cheesecakes is recalling Neapolitan cheesecakes because the packaging lacks ingredient and major food allergen labels.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (specifically, the complete absence of allergen information) on a common food product, which fits the rubric criteria for a High severity score (3).

Plain-English summary

Hank's Cheesecakes, LLC is recalling 207 Neapolitan cheesecakes. The products are packaged in cardboard boxes labeled with the company name and St. Louis, Missouri address. The recall is necessary because the packaging does not include labels indicating the ingredients or the major food allergens contained in the cheesecakes.

The affected cheesecakes were distributed to food service establishments in Missouri and Illinois. No specific lot codes or expiration dates are provided in the recall notice.

Consumers and food service operators who have these products should stop using them. Individuals with food allergies should be particularly cautious, as the absence of allergen labeling prevents them from verifying the safety of the product for their specific dietary restrictions.
